Surprised at home by Veszprem during its last outing in the Champions League, PSG returned to success this Thursday evening during the 18th day by winning clearly (35-26) on the Macedonian prosecution of Eurofarm Pelister, before group A. The Parisians, who will play the playoffs, finish this group phase in 4th place.
PSG went through all feelings Thursday evening during the last day of the group stage of the Champions League. On arrival, the scenario is unfortunately not the one hoped for. After the setback at home against Veszprem during its last outing in the European Cup, the capital’s club was first in mind to raise its head, this Thursday evening on the move on the Macedonian prosecution of Eurofarm Pelister, penultimate of group A before this final day which had therefore reserved a match outside the Parisians.
Elohim Prandi, top scorer of the evening with 8 achievements, and his family reached their goal by clearly dominating his evening opponent (35-26), already decrampted after the first thirty minutes of play (18-13) against the players of Raul Gonzalez, undoubtedly a tone above the Macedonians. It was then only for Paris to hope that Sporting Portugal, at the same time, would bow on the parquet floor of Wisla Plock and would thus allow its rival to finish in third place in the hen.
Sporting, or the bad news of the evening …
This is unfortunately the bad and only false note of the evening for the ten-reigning decapops of France, nevertheless qualified for the play-offs and assured of receiving in the return match of this double confrontation. It was played in two seconds and a goal from the Icelandic winger Orri Freyr Thorkelsson just before the mermaid but it is Sporting, yet practically led from start to finish and which still had a goal of delay as there were only these two seconds left, which managed to snatch a draw (29-29) oh so precious which propels the Portuguese in second place, PSG, Worse scenario that is, must finally be satisfied with fourth place, behind Sporting and the Fuchse Berlin.
Worse still: if he crosses the Szeged obstacle in play-offs, it is the terrible FC Barcelona who seems to wait for these Parisians who can curse these two defeats at home against Zseged and Plock while they held their destiny in their hands. Not such a good evening that this in short.
